🐾 Meet Pumba — The Gentle Giant Looking for His Forever Home!

Pumba is a 5-year-old Mastiff/Dane mix with a heart as big as his paws. This goofy, loving boy is both affectionate and disciplined — the kind of dog who’ll make you laugh one minute and melt your heart the next.

He’s neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, with only a mild, easy-to-manage skin allergy. Pumba does great with other dogs when introduced properly and loves the company of older kids. He’d thrive in a home with a yard to stretch those long legs, and a family that enjoys companionship, protection and loyalty in equal measure.

🐶 Personality: Friendly • Goofy • Protective • Well-mannered

🏡 Ideal home: Yard preferred, no cats (unknown), dog-savvy family

📍 Location: Landers, CA — transport available anywhere for the right home

📅 Urgency: Pumba needs a home ASAP — his current rescue is moving soon

If you’ve been waiting for a gentle, devoted companion to fill your life with love, Pumba is your guy. ❤️

CRITICAL PRESS RELEASE:
Unprecedented Overcrowding (140% CAPACITY!)

Ventura County, Calif.: Ventura County Animal Services is in extreme crisis. The Camarillo Shelter has just passed 140% capacity, with 205 dogs occupying 146 indoor/outdoor kennels suitable for around-the-clock housing. This unprecedented overcrowding has led to a severe outbreak of upper respiratory infection (URI) among our canine population, jeopardizing their health and well-being.
Community Action Strongly Requested:
1. RECLAIM IMMEDIATELY: If your pet is at the shelter, reclaim them as soon as possible.
2. FOUND DOGS: VCAS will continue to accept lost animals who are sick, injured, and/or aggressive. However, those who find healthy dogs are asked to avoid bringing them to the shelter if possible. Rather, please follow these crucial steps:
a. To share found dogs on VCAS social media, email a clear a face picture to [email protected]. Include their location found (address, cross streets, city) and your contact info.
b. Visit www.vcas.us/LostAndFound to file a found animal report and to view additional reunification tips.
c. Contact numbers or scan QR codes on the dog’s collar.
d. Post the dog’s photo and location on social media.
e. Take the dog to a veterinarian to get scanned for a microchip.
3. ADOPT: VCAS is waiving all dog adoption fees until further notice. The VCAS team will provide essential counseling on managing exposure risks upon adoption.
We cannot stress enough the urgency of this situation. Thank you for your continued support during these unprecedented and challenging times.
